Psalm 1 - The way of the Righteous and the way of the Unrighteous

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 

   

                  2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.    

                 

3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.    

                 

4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 

                    

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 

                    

6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
